Start your school year off right at the 2025 Double Reed Day at the NIU School of Music! All participants will work with NIU double reed faculty Dr. Laura Medisky (oboe) and Prof. Carol Rosing (bassoon), and participate in masterclasses, the double reed ensemble, and our final concert. Participants can also visit with our exhibitors — Midwest Musical Imports and Oboe Chicago — and meet new people while they spend a fun day surrounded by other double reed players!
